The Gender & Sexuality Research Cluster is a multidisciplinary community that brings together postgraduate students and faculty dedicated to the study of gender and sexualities (broadly construed).
Our approach is intersectional, recognising the interconnectedness of these categories with other social markers such as race, class and dis/ability among others. We foster a collaborative and inclusive environment where members can share their research, connect with other scholars, and contribute to the broader academic discourse.
Based in the Department of Sociology, the cluster welcomes researchers from various disciplines to join our academic exploration of gender and sexuality. By providing a platform for sociologists of gender and sexualities to come together, we aim to enhance the visibility of research in the area within the department and strengthen its overall presence.
Format
We organise a variety of events throughout the academic year: a networking gathering, a guest lecture, a session for postgraduates to present and receive feedback on their research, and a one-off reading group to discuss newly published materials in gender and sexuality studies.
Convenors and Contact
People interested in joining should get in touch with the two co-convenors Jorune Linkeviciute and Simone Schneider by mailing gsrc@sociology.cam.ac.uk
